    'Boeing lacks 'trained and experienced' employees'
    'The result: Audit determines there are 'quality control issues''

    'Topline: Boeing, the engineering company behind the failed mission that
    left two astronauts stranded in space, received $6.4 billion in
    contracts from NASA between fiscal years 2021 and 2024, according to
    federal data reviewed by OpenTheBooks. Only CalTech, which manages
    NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, received more money.

    Key facts: Boeing's Starliner spacecraft experienced a thruster
    malfunction during its first manned flight last June. The ship was
    forced to return to Earth unmanned, leaving Sunita Williams and Barry
    Wilmore stuck at the International Space Station.

    NASA's inspector general later released an audit of Boeing's Exploration
    Upper Stage launch system — a project unrelated to Starliner, but one
    that sheds light on deeper issues within the company.

    The audit found "quality control issues" with Boeing's work attributed
    to "the lack of a sufficient number of trained and experienced aerospace workers at Boeing."

    The Defense Contract Management Agency issued 71 Corrective Action
    Requests to Boeing between 2021 and 2023, asking the company to fix its
    quality control problems. But the company was "nonresponsive in taking corrective actions," the inspector general wrote.

    The audit found the its part of the Artemis IV mission — which is
    supposed to take us back to the moon — is six years behind schedule and
    an estimated $1.8 billion over budget. It's now expected to cost $2.8
    billion by the time it is used in 2028.

    The inspector general recommended that NASA work with Boeing to create a training program for the company's employees and give Boeing "financial penalties" for not meeting quality control standards.

    Boeing's work on the launch system is documented online, but the public
    would have no way of finding it by checking USAspending.gov, which is
    supposed to catalog all federal contracts. The website lists $2.7
    billion sent to Boeing for the Ares I project, which has not existed
    since 2010.

    A NASA spokesperson said the money had been shifted to the space
    launcher system at the request of Congress.

    Summary: The federal government would be wise to investigate companies'
    quality control before awarding them billions of dollars worth of
    contracts, not years after the fact'

    The question is WHY are there so many unqualified workers at Boeing?
    While DEI is not mentioned, could it be a factor?

    Personally, I wouldn't get on any aircraft, especially those manufactured by Boeing.
    If the plane doesn't fall apart mid flight, the pilots or ATC will screw something up.

    Outside merger managment, they are qualified.

    No. Greedy McDonnell Douglas executives are. As Reagan taught
    them, you get rich by buying solid, profitable companies and then disembowelling them to sell kidney stones at diamond prices.

    They shouldn't be hiring graduates from Afro Engineering University either.
